2A and 2B and Mid-West School for Deaf Trip (February-2009)
We went on the special bus "Vantastic" to the National Museum Of Ireland. We looked around the museum. It was beautiful. We took our coats off. We met students from the School for the Deaf in Limerick. They were visiting the museum also.
We looked around together. We saw bronze and stone artefacts. It was very interesting. We looked at old clothes from a long time ago. We went upstairs. We saw the Viking exhibition. It was fantastic. We saw the Iron age bog bodies from Co.Offaly. The old Roghan Man was the name given to the best preserved body. It was so realistic.We could see the skin and hair on his face. We went upstairs too. We saw the Egyptian exhibition. It was very scary. Shamaa and Asmaa were happy because they saw a mummy and many different objects from Egypt which reminded them of home. We talked to the Limerick girls all the time. We had a great chat. After the museum we went to Mc Donalds. Ms Allen and Ms Owen took lots of photos of the group. We hugged each other and said goodbye. The Limerick girls invited us to visit them. Ms Owens said that we might arrange a school trip to Limerickin May. Ms Owens saw a beautiful shop on Grafton Street. There were lovely heart -shaped decorations in the window for St. Valentine's Day. We went inside and we wrote our own messages on the pink hearts and stuck them on the window. We went to St. Stephen's Green. We took photos again and we saw lots of birds and ducks. We walked back to get a taxi back to school. We had a great time and we really enjoyed ourselves. By Eimear O Rourke 2B
